Howdy (and nice meeting you last weekend ;-)
I think that has bit me too once before.
Question is ... how to best compare? Just two file.info()
calls and compare size? I'd rather not depend on digest to compare checksums. Does R has a base checksummer? Or should we just always copy it out?
The issue here is some may modify the pinp.cls
file. So, copying on every knit probably isn't ideal.
Probably, best to check file.info()
and emit a message that emphasizes the underlying class file changed. If the compilation is broken, then delete the old .cls file for a new one to be added in its place.
The
pinp.cls
file is not in-sync with the package. This may happen if it has been modified either locally or during a package update. If there is trouble knitting the document, please delete thepinp.cls
file.
So, copying on every knit probably isn't ideal.
Yep. There was a reason we didn't do that.
But then suppose someone mod'ed it for good reason. Should we then yell at them each time we render the document because we see a change?
A puzzle...
There is tools::md5sum
. So maybe we just 'quickly' run that over both, and issue the warning if different. If we feel generous we can add package-environment toggle to tell it to never yell....
This is a small nasty thing that mage me kill several hours twice (with a gap of maybe half a year). Once the package is updated, a fresh cope of
pinp.bst
is required, and the directory with previously knitted document hold an outdated copy. Maybe there is a way to give an informative message in such a case?
